You can utilize full Chinese Japanese Korean (CJK) input on the Nokia N900 GNU mobile phone, using GNU Emacs.

You can send SMS, edit contacts, basically use any application and use this way to input CJK text, it works.

UPDATE: 2009-12-15-174111 GNU Emacs 23.1.1 .deb installation package uploaded, getting rid of the problems, discussed in the following posts.

I suppose that is a way, if slightly rickety.

Are you aware of any organized project to bring real CJK input to the N900? I would like to offer my time and skills, if needed. I know there was a system in place for OS2008, but I'm unsure where to start in terms of porting to Fremantle.

Fixed......

:) Works great for me, I'm used to this way of input, use it even on the desktop PC, don't need no input methods etc. Just have Emacs and I'm ready to go always, everywhere, it's rock solid.

Work is under way by the same person(s) who did the OS2008 tool, but with some major changes in some of the mechanics.

Rock solid yes, but it depends on Emacs which is 25MB even on Maemo, and I would not use it for much else (I'd rather work on getting vim-gtk going!) I would also prefer that it integrate as seamlessly as possible with my UI, which I get on both Linux and Windows today.

Now see, that's what I'm talking about. A little cleaner integration (directly into gtk2 inputs instead of a fade window) and that'd be spectacular and more like the input modes I'm used to.

Re: Full Chinese Japanese Korean (CJK) input for the Nokia N900 GNU mobile phone
 

Click and open it. Or from the xterm: dpkg -i filename

dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege
